โฆ Synopsis
We report a room-temperature diode pumped single frequency Tm:YAP laser. Two uncoated fused silica etalons were used as mode selectors. The maximum single frequency output power was 344 mW at wavelength of 1988 nm. The slope efficiency of single-frequency laser operation was 33% and the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency was 14%. The beam propagation factors M 2 were measured as 1.44 and 1.43 in x and y directions, respectively.

In this letter we report a diode-pumped single frequency Tm:LuAG laser at room temperature. One uncoated fused silica etalon (0.1 mm) and one uncoated YAG etalon (1 mm) are employed to narrow the laser line-width. Single frequency laser is achieved by tuning the angle of the etalons. The oscillating
A diode pumped tunable single-frequency Tm:YAG laser using the twisted-mode cavity is reported. The maximum single-frequency output power is 514 mW with a slope efficiency of 9.7%. The wavelength tuning range from 2011.587 nm to 2016.065 nm is achieved by tuning the obliquity of a 1-mm-thick etalon.
